Millennials think they're the first generation to be tech literate?

Glares in Gen X.

FCC chair threatens broadcasters over Iran war coverage FCC Chair Brendan Carr said news broadcasters coverage of Iran war could impact their license renewal.

If you saw this happening in another country, what would you call it? www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week.

Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool.

But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

This is throwing back to Mother's Day 2012. This was in honor of my mom. I figure it's perfect for Women's History Month. It's about one expression that my mom used to say.

Kim: The vast majority of what I hear in these classified briefings can be said publicly, but they intentionally do this to as a tactic to be able to prevent the American people from hearing and questioning what it is that they're doing.

They know that the American people do not want a war

Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"

The Revolution Will Be Digitized (Because F**k This Guy) Michelle DiPoala is a Boston-based freelance writer and blogger. Diary of a Low Budget Superhero is a Gen X blog covering a variety of topics.

A certain entry in my blog from 2017 is rising in the rankings, I wonder why (I don't wonder, that's sarcasm). I remember this. The first Women's March. It's titled "The Revolution Will Be Digitized (Because F**k This Guy)."

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin?

NOEM: Yes

WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that?

NOEM: No.

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.

They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.

Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.

Watch how they vote this week.

wow -- Tillis goes ballistic on Noem, telling her "what we've seen is a disaster under your leadership"

Such baloney.

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

HERO 🔥

And I don’t want to hear shit about a censure vote against this man.

Rep. Al Greene was ejected from the State of the Union for the sign — “Black People Aren’t Apes.”

Definitely the first State of the Union where the president talked about the military killing unarmed fishermen as a laugh line

My Super-Talented Family Members: Joe "onlyone" Kowalski (Musician/Actor/Filmmaker) My husband is Joe Kowalski, an imaginative Gen X polymath and among the most talented people I know.

You guys. Today, on a random Tuesday of no particular significance, I'm sharing what I wrote about my husband Joe Kowalski. He's my favorite person. I hope that point comes across. He's magic.

Think of how bad things must be for a Supreme Court Justice to feel he has to explain why it's a good idea to have laws enacted by legislators instead of decreed by wannabe dictators

A short note to Kristi Noem To a current Cabinet secretary from a former one

The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.

We are seeing resignations and criminal investigations around the world of scumbags who showed up in the Epstein Files whilst the orange felon sits comfortably in the bulldozed White House and remains in full power of the US govt. Truly disgusting and despicable.
